hell if you get boot camp you can run windows ON your mac its very easy And if I wanted, I could use OSX86 to duel boot Mac's OSX.
The 24inch imac can even run crysis and i know this FROM experience It runs with no lag I cant really comment on this because I've never heard of Crysis before.
"All my modeling is done on mac but who cares D=" I can model fine from my Windows thank you very much.
The Overpriced is bullcrap because if all the programs and the fact that i've never lost a computer to a virus You cannot "lose" a computer to a virus. It may cause some difficulties but they arent even existant if you use free anti-virus programs like Avast! and AVG
And if you look at the charts hmm i got no charts but here
A good windows computer costs about...? maybe 800$? 1000$? i dont know i dont buy em I got my Dell PC with Windows Vista Home Premium on it with 2 gigs of ram and the latest Nvidia graphics card fo about$60. A mac computer with those specs would be much more expensive
But if you get a virus that breaks some things then it could turn into hell You might need to buy a new one and your already at the price of a VERY good mac if you had gone and gotten the mac and a 100dollar bootcamp then you could get back into "Steam/other pc programs" And yet You still have your mac Or I could run the programs natively without paying for extra emulator bullstuff. I've been using Windows computers since I was 6 and I've never gotten a virus that "ruins" my computer. In fact I barely get any viruses at all because I leave my Antivirus on and dont forget around like an incompetant monkey.

Why would you need to unplug it? Plugging isn't really that hard or time cosuming in general.
Spockticus:
Why would you want a stuffload of wires and a box when you can get a faster computer without? I can guarantee that if Macs had boxes and PCs didn't, you'd be arguing that it looks better without a box.

You can actually open a PC case or get larger monitors with the box setup

--- Quote from: Badspot ---You're missing the fact that Apple selectively markets to people who do not know how to use a computer. The Macintosh user identifies himself as ignorant and disabled. When a task comes up that sounds difficult, he automatically assumes that he can't do it. Most of the time he is correct.

Another member also mentioned in a previous topic that if Windows users actually read the instructions and little OS Tours that Microsoft kindly gives, they wouldn't have the problems they do have. Typical problems that Windows users come across can be easily prevented by simply using the computer correctly and protecting the system from Viruses. The simple fact is that most people are completely handicapped when it comes to computers and as Badspot said, assume that they can't do it. I would know, my parents are the same way. Who would have thought that looking around the display properties would have gotten me to clone their monitor. The problem is, when most people run into a problem, they simply accept it as a constant of reality and then make no effort to try to fix it. Then, when their computer becomes unusable do to malware or some corrupt files, they instantly assume that those Macs they've heard so much about are the clear answer. I wouldn't know much about Macs. I've never used one and never will. I don't plan on ever needing to. Windows meets my needs as well as it needs to.
